We're dividing 985586 by 50 
We want to divide 985586 by 50.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 50

Step 2:
When dividing 98 by 50, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 50 from 98, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 485 / 50

Step 3:
The number 50 fits into 485 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 450 from 485 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 355 / 50

Let's proceed to step 4:
50 goes into 355 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 197.0
If we subtract 350 from 355, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 50

Advancing to step 5:
58 divided by 50 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1971.0
If we take 50 away from 58, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 50

Let's proceed to step 6:
50 goes into 86 1 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 19711.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 50 from 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
50 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19711.7
If we subtract 350 from 360, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
50 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19711.72
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 100 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19711.72
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19711.72
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 19711.72, and the remainder is 0.0.
